Patrick Wrote:I think Tobey already gave the perfect quote for this.
Quote:30.1 Questioner: I am going to make a statement and then let you correct it if I have made any errors. This is the statement: Creation is a single entity or unity. If only a single entity exists, then the only concept of service is service to self. If this single entity subdivides, then the concept of service of one of its parts to the other parts is born. From this concept springs the equality of service to self or to others. It would seem that as the Logos subdivided, parts would select each orientation. As individualized entities emerge in space/time then I would assume that they have polarity. Is this statement correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This statement is quite perceptive and correct until the final phrase in which we note that the polarities begin to be explored only at the point when a third-density entity becomes aware of the possibility of choice between the concept or distortion of service to self or service to others. This marks the end of what you may call the unself-conscious or innocent phase of conscious awareness.
ROFL! Oh you guys... YES this is a great quote. Read it again:

Service... OF one of its parts to the other parts. Again, WHAT is being served is the question. Not WHO is being served.
Patrick Wrote:I believe we can clearly see here that Ra makes a direct link in between the concepts of Polarities, STS, STO and The Choice.
No, what Ra does here is link the polarities to STS/STO. They aren't talking about "The Choice" here in this quote, or the other quotes provided above. Yes, they are using the word "choice" (with a little "c"), but "The Choice" with a capital "C" is a different concept.
Quote:Also we can see that Ra considers correct that both choices are equal, since there is only One service, service to the Creator.
Service OF the Creator.

Before what, we should ask when. And when we ask when, we might realize what we really meant to ask is where.
Where is The Choice?
Ra put The Choice at the end of the deck. This is quite a revolutionary move IMO. Another one of those things that gets easily overlooked.
Does anybody else notice an obvious lack of any imagery in this card which would be suggestive of selecting one path of polarization over the other?
